LOOKING FOR MIDDLE GROUND IN THE IMMIGRATION DEBATE
Rick,
You can't fault conservatives for not trusting Bush when it come to illegal immigration. Since he was elected, he's been more than willing to defer to Fox on this issue. If we consider this in light of the last amnesty that was granted and its horrendous consequences, it might be easier to understand why so many conservatives remain intractable. You know, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, and I'm just a friggin' idiot.
You should also concede that Democrats are equally unwilling to compromise. They stand everything to gain and absolutely nothing to lose by a) maintaining the status quo or b) futher liberalizing immigration non-policies. I realize you're addressing a specific audience, but recognizing the purely political dimensions of this issue necessitates exposing our opponents' motives as well.

If the vitriol spewed by the left is any indication of how they intend to conduct themselves should they regain control of the federal government, Americans will be in a shooting war with one another sooner rather than later. The fact that current and former elements of the intelligence and defense communities appear to be conspiring with a panapoly of knee-jerk reactionaries is eerily familiar to the byzantine cabals one observes in banana republics, not the United States.
I think the left has made significant progress convincing its adherents that Americans who happen to disagree with them - not foreign terrorist who want to kill them - are the real enemies we should be fighting.

THE INTELLECTUAL DISHONESTY OF THE OPEN BORDERS CROWD
Rick,
It's going to take more the opinions to compel Congress and the President to change their tack on illegal immigration. We can talk ourselves to death and type until we're arthritic, but unless we actually begin taking some action, the United States as we know will not exist in another generation.
At this point, any debate, discourse, dialogue, discussion or whatever the hell else you want to call it should focus on generating constructive plans to actively resist this so-called immigration reform. If we aren't prepared to begin re-asserting our rights and privileges as a sovereign people, we may as well run up the white flag and join the French today.
Ideas, please.

Rick,
Allegory isn't really your calling...better stick to the punditocracy.
It was funny, though.

FROM HERE ON OUT, THE AMNESTY PROGRAM IS A REPUBLICAN ISSUE
Tano,
Judging by your response, is it safe to assume that you're one of the privileged few that enjoys some direct benefit from having 12 million illegal immigrants currently residing in the country? Perhaps you have a nanny for whom you don't have to pay any federal taxes or a landscaper who doesn't have to carry worker's compensation insurance on his/her illegal immigrant employees...
In any case, there are two fundmental points regarding the rule of law that need to be addressed.
First, when we allow, and in some cases, encourage, foreigners to willfully break the law, how much longer do you think we'll to be able to call ourselves a nation of laws?
Second, when we allow, and in some cases, encourage, AMERICANS to break the law by employing millions of illegal immigrants, how much longer do you think we'll to be able to call ourselves a nation of laws?
Once we lose rule of law, think about what Bosnia looked like in 19956 and you'll get some idea of what America will look like in another generation or so.
BTW, if my original observations were trite, yours were extremely myopic.

When we Americans let others treat our country like it's some goddamn global job fair and not our home, how the hell can we expect anyone to take our cries for immigration enforcement seriously?
I guess we're all too busy blogging to actually do anything constructive about it. If members of Congress, the Senate and the President really thought this asinine amnesty program was going to hurt them politically, they'd drop it like a hot potato. But let's face it, with Dhimmicrats licking their chops over all those potential votes and Republicans slapping each other on the back, knowing all that PAC money from industries that rely heavily on illegal labor will keep rolling in, there's not one iota of incentive for them to act on our behalf.
BTW, anyone - whether American or not - who says illegal immigrants are only here doing the jobs Americans won't do really needs to be bitch-slapped three ways to Sunday.

CIA VS. THE WHITE HOUSE: THE VIPS CONNECTION
One would think that if disgruntled former and present CIA employees were actively trying to unseat a sitting United States President, they would be more competent in the execution of their plans. But then again, I suppose this is the same CIA that failed to derail the September 11 attacks.
That said, if it turns out that this is part of a bigger conspiracy, it would be nothing less than an attempted coup d'etat...how do you suppose the MSM, Dhimmicratic Party and the retired generals are going to explain this one away?

There isn't going to be any return to "normalcy" in the United States until Americans resolve the internal conflicts and overcome the political divisions that the September 11 attacks exposed.
How this resolution will manifest itself, I have no idea. What I do know is that this country is divided in a ways I never thought it would be. One of the reasons there has been no definitive victory in Iraq is because these divisions aren't real conducive to mustering the collective will required to win a war.
In th final analysis, a lot of people in this country are going to have to decide whether being conservative, liberal, Republican or Democrat is more important than being an American.
My $0.02, for what it's worth.
